Behind the scenes of The Wanderlusters

Here is a quick look at a couple things that went into the making of "The Wanderlusters" our submission for the My Rode Reel short film competition.

This film was shot in The Bean Scene coffee shop in Fremont, California. The creators of the film (Ryan McDowell and Omar Abdullah) are a comedy duo from San Jose Ca.

The main focus of the project was to make a very fun and snappy video that has a jumpy feel. This was done through using a lot of CU and MCU 2S shots. It was completely locked off on tripod and focus was given to the actors takes and timing as this is an extremely dialog driven piece.

Things went relatively well except for one major issue which is that the power to the whole block (including the stoplights) when out for the whole first half of the shoot! that entire section had to be re shot and meant that our time was more limited than expected. However we rallied together to get the shots needed and are pleased with the outcome.
